ISSNIP Summer School 2008 Presentation + Dell made mistake again
还是继续用我的破烂英语在讲台上乱讲一通。主要讲了两方面，公司的产品和学校的项目。最郁闷的是第一英语真的是太丢人，第二戴尔不争气，居然没有识别到投影仪，最后只能用别人的笔记本演示，郁闷！

戴尔澳大利亚又出事了！
这个是最近几个月来的第三次出事，出的事就是，价格标错了。上次给是把台式机打了个5.5折，799的机器350卖。网友们疯狂了，最后是戴尔采取逐个击破强硬的取消了用户的订单。然后，他们的一个老大今天上午站出来，说再也不会发生这种事情了，他们已经仔细检查了所有项目。没想到的是，今天下午又出事了。19寸液晶的台式机，最后价格是238元！人民币1000元多一点点嘛，各位看看这个配置如何:

戴尔解释系统错误导致价格错误，不能提供200多元的电脑，并愿意在电脑799的基础上再提供1折优惠。我没有这方面需求，所以就拒绝了。此次事件，戴尔危机公关成功化解危机(Google可以搜索到此次危机，不像百度提供给三鹿搜索结果屏蔽)，但是他们没有IBM有风度~~~估计是金融危机害的吧。不管怎么说，没占到便宜，也没损失。
